WEEKLY—Same rate*a* for the Be it ever so humble,there is noth ing like tariff reform. Spalding County exhibited her us¬ ual becoming modesty in the State convention. The delegates to St. Louis from the State at large are ail young men. It is the young Democracy that is do ing the fighting this year, and they seem to has o the lick. It leoks as if Georgia was for Cleveland, even ii the Executive Committee did not think it their duty to give him a half cooked and premature endorsement. It is very funny—it is side split— ing—to hear the Constitution talk about -‘state” proceedings and “wire pullings.” Such words used to make that once able newspaper quite in¬ dignant. The Constitution was right in say¬ ing that there was rio fight on the tariff question in Georgia. A cor¬ poral’s guard can not fight an army, although it may think so before the lines arc formed. On Wednesday the Alabama Dem ocrats renominated Thomas Seay for governor, with a full State ticket. Yesterday they elected Cleveland and tariff reform delagatcs to St. Louis. Hon. Pope Barrow is the most ex¬ perienced and probably the ablest man on the delegation to St. Louis, and received tho highest number of votes. Ho will doubtless lie made chairman of the delegation- Patrick Walsh retains his fine sense of humor to the last. lie wanted to make the platlorm for the convention, hut the convention, not appreeiatiug the jest, thought il could do a little in the platform line itself. Hon. Jno. .1. Hunt was toe able and handsome chairman of Spalding delegation at the State con vention, and it is to him that our readers are indebted fur the concise special in yesterday’s N lews the proceedings. lie was unco newspaper man himself. No truer or more Democrats in Georgia could been sent to St. Louis than llichardson, of the Macon and Editor Triplett, of the Tfiomaa- ville Times. They will reflect honar not only upon the State, but upon the press. It seems to be the general opinion of members of both Houses of Con- gres that the present session will ex tend well into and possibly nearly through the summer, because Con¬ gressional business will necessarily be delayed by the St. Louis and Chicago National Conventions.

The House ia getting a little tired of the tariff’ discussion Every day when the debate ia concluded, prior to fldjonrnment, the member prtsid ing in committee of tbo whole has to report to the Speaker: “The com mittee of the whole House on the State of the Union has Lad under consideration the bill to reduce taxa tion and simplify the laws in relation to the collection of the revenue, and has come to no conclusion.” The other day another victim of tho tobabco habit died at Parkers bnrg, West Virginia. This lament cd citizen commenced smoking bis pipe at sixteen years of age, and nev er lost a day to the nepentbean be guilement; even committing tbo ex cess of smoking deep and long every night before retiring. His untimely takiDg off at 113 years of age sets be fore us another example. The Austrian person who has just died at the ago of 142, leaving a son of 115 and grandson of 85, must have been an interesting person. If he had any property to leave, his heirs must bavo become more or lees weary. No doubt, beforo be passed away, he cautioned his young grand sou agaicst smoking cigarettes.

He added: If a Democrat favors a protective tar iff. let him go into tho camp of the enemy; if a I’epablican favors tariff reduction, let him come into the party of refoun. —-------- • * -------- Unless something unforeseen pre vents, the general debate on the tar iff bill will close next Monday. The last speech will bo made by Speaker Carlisle. His speech was prepared, or rather its scopo* and direction wero struck out, shortly after the 1'resident’B message was sent to Congress, The Southern Baptist Convention will meet nt Bichmond, Ya., today- It is computed that about a thousand delegates will attend, including many of the most distinguished Baptists in the couutry.

The legend of the ancient Greeks pictures tho Furies as pursuing families from generation to generation, rendering them desolate. The Furies still ply their work of terror and death, but they are not now clothed lu the garb of supersti- 1 tion, but appear in the more intelligible but f no liras awful form of hereditary disease. Modem science, which has illuminated so many dark corners of nature, has shed a new light on the ominous words of the Scriptures, "The sins of the fathers shall bo visited upon the children unto the third and fourth generation.” Instances of hereditary disease abound. Fifty per cent, of cases of consumption, that fearful destroyer of fami¬ lies, of cancer and scrofula, run in families through Inheritance. Insanity Is hereditary In a marked degree, but, fortunately, like many other hereditary diseases, tends to wear itself out. the *t * k tiecoming extinct. A distinguished scientist truly says: "No organ or texture of the body Is exempt from the chance of being the subject of hereditary disease.” Frobably more chronic diseases, which permanently modify the structure and functions of the body, are more or less llablo to tie inherited.
